Connecting modular I/Os to PROFINET

Phoenix Contact’s new I/O bus couplers for PROFINET with IP20 protection act as the link between the I/O level and Ethernet. They can be used to connect up to 62 or 8 function units, such as digital and analog inputs/outputs and counters, to the network.
IL PN BK DI8 DO4 2TX-PAC and ST PN 24 BK 2TX bus couplers provide the familiar IP20 I/O functionality in process data and PCP mode for up to 8 devices.

Features:

• Fast startup and simple diagnostics thanks to Ethernet or I/O-specific LEDs
• Full scope of functions of the PROFINET stack 2.2
  - Easy conversion of LLDP
  - Easy conversion of PDev
  - Easy conversion of ASR
  - Easy conversion of I&M
  - Easy conversion of the dynamic functionality for which Profibus is well-known

The bus couplers are programmed using Phoenix Contact’s PC WORX automation software according to IEC 61131. I/O data and diagnostic information are linked directly via the variable names just as for fieldbus integration.

Powerful combination of PC platform, PLC, visualization and fieldbus master with PROFINET and INTERBUS support

Whenever a control system is required to take over further functions such as visualization, in addition to its classical tasks, PC-based solutions are the obvious choice. The S-MAX 4xx CE PN control system is a high-availability high-end system for control and regulation, operating and monitoring, and communication.

Features:

• Integration of a PROFINET I/O controller and an INTERBUS master
• IEC 61131 programming with PC WORX
• Creation of the visualization using the Visu+ or Provisit software tools
• 12” and 15” color TFT display with touch screen

Thanks to the high performance of this control system, comprehensive control tasks can be processed quickly and reliably. This means that it can be used universally, in mechanical and plant engineering, building automation, and even water management. Once ordered, you will receive a tested and pre-installed solution with perfectly matched hardware and software components. This saves both time and money during startup or servicing.
